In the center, elevation covered with vegetation by the sea, with the top, on the basis of inclined ramps, white church, with a single tower centered on a portico and surmounted by bulbiform termination, finished off by a weathervane in the shape of a cock. Clear skies, pinkish and blue-green tones. Oval frame, in plastered and gilded wood, surrounded by an embossed laurel log.
